Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to corn heads for agricultural combines. More particularly, it relates to the gathering points and deck covers for the corn heads. Even more particularly, it relates to structures for supporting the point in a plurality of different vertical positions.
- With current corn heads the gathering points must be jackknifed or manually locked for transport and service. This is a time consuming process especially with large heads. This arrangement for supporting the points and covers restricts access to the row unit and hinders cleanout.
- Most of these machines have cumbersome hardware to hold down the deck cover. They cannot be quickly opened or closed for cleanout or repair. The machines that do offer quickly engageable latches for points and covers typically have a single latch in the middle of the cover that blocks access to row units.
- The system for adjusting the height of a gathering point above the row unit and ground that requires special tools or has loose cumbersome hardware. This makes adjusting the point height a time consuming process.
- Furthermore, if two cover release latches are used to secure the deck cover, the farmer must use both hands just to release the cover and has no hands left to lift the cover. This means that two people are required to raise the deck cover and gathering points instead of just one person.
- In accordance with a first aspect of the invention, a point and cover assembly for a row crop header is provided, comprising a point; a cover coupled to the point with a hinge; a latch fixed to the cover, the latch further comprising a first spring-loaded latch pin for pinning the cover to a first row unit, a second spring loaded latch pin for pinning the cover to a second row unit, and a member coupling the two latch pins together that is operable by one hand to release both latch pins from the first and second row units; and a point support comprising an elongate member fixed at its rear end to the cover and having an adjustable point rest at its front end for supporting the point at a plurality of different heights.
- 2. The adjustable point rest may include a quick coupler operable by one hand to adjust the height of the point. The quick coupler may include a spring loaded pin operable by one hand of the operator to adjust the height of the point. The member may extend laterally and the two latch pins may extend from either end of the member. Each of the two latch pins may be provided with a coil spring to hold each latch pin in a locked position in which the cover is held down. The two latch pins may be configured to engage apertures in two corresponding pin receivers that are fixed to two adjacent row unit control arms. The point and cover assembly may further include an adjustable point rest mounted on the front of the cover. The adjustable point rest may further comprise a fine adjuster for adjusting the position of a first bracket with respect to the elongate member and a spring pin configured to adjust the position of a second bracket with respect to the first bracket, and further wherein the second bracket may have a point support surface for supporting the front of the point in a plurality of vertical positions.

FIG. 1 , a corn header (or “corn head”) 104 for an agricultural combine includes a plurality ofrow units 106 that are spaced laterally across a leading edge of the corn header. A plurality ofpoints 108 and covers 110 cover the row units to keep them clean and to guide crops into the proper channels for harvesting by each row unit. Eachpoint 108 andcorresponding cover 110 covers half of twoadjacent row units 106 and the gap between the two adjacent row units. The point direct rows of crops away from the gap between adjacent row units and into the opening in each row unit that is configured to process crops. - Each
point 108 is hingeably coupled to itscorresponding cover 110 located immediately behind it such that a very forwardmost tip ofpoint 108 can be lifted upward, tilted backwards, and latched in a raised position. One of thepoints 108 is shown in this raised, latched position inFIG. 1 . theother points 108 are identically configured to be raised and latched, but are not shown in their raised position for convenience of illustration. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , twoadjacent row units single point 108 andcover 110.point 108 is shown in its raised and latched position, exposing additional components of theadjacent row units point 108, andcover 110. -
Point 108 includes a hollow rotomolded thermoplastic body in the general form of a section of a cone.Cover 110 includes a hollow rotomolded thermoplastic body having an arcuatetop surface 112. It is pivotally connected to the frame ofheader 104 by ahinge 114 along itsrear edge 116. - The
front edge 118 ofcover 110 is held down onrow unit arm 120 ofrow unit 106 b, and onrow unit arm 122 ofrow unit 106 a bylatch 124. - Latch 124 comprises a laterally extending
latch member 126,latch pins member 126, latch supports 132, 134 tat support andguide latch pins springs latch pins cover 110 is held down. In a preferred embodiment,latch member 126 andlatch pins pins - Referring now to
FIGS. 2, 3 , 4 and 6,latch pin 130 is supported in a hole inlatch support 134 andlatch pin 128 is supported in a hole inlatch support 132. Latch supports 132, 134 are fixed to cover 110 and constrainlatch pins - Coil springs 136, 138 extend around
latch pins latch pins - Two
pin receivers 140, 142 (FIGS. 3, 6 ) have holes that receive the free ends oflatch pins Pin receivers row unit arms latch pins 128, 130 (which are mounted on cover 110) are received inpin receivers front edge 118 ofcover 110 in its downward operating position in which it covers the arms ofrow units -
FIG. 3 is a cutaway view oflatch pin 130,coil spring 138, andpin receiver 142 which are disposed on the right side of thecover 110 androw unit arm 122.Latch pin 128 andpin receiver 140 are identically constructed in a mirror image form and are disposed on left side ofcover 110. - To operate
latch 124, the operator graspsmember 126 and pulls forward in the direction “F” shown inFIG. 4 .latch pins member 126 and also pulled forward. Aspins coil springs pin receivers front edge 118 ofcover 110 fromrow unit arms front edge 118 upward and to pivotcover 110 about hinge 114 (FIG. 2 ). - Referring to
FIGS. 4-7 ,cover 110 further comprises apoint support 144 which comprises anelongate member 146, anadjustable point rest 148, and abridge 150. Elongatemember 146 is bolted to the middle of the front edge ofcover 110 and extends generally forward. Abridge 150 is pivotally coupled to the forward end ofelongate member 146 bybolt 152, which extends throughelongate member 146 andbridge 150.Bolt 152 permitsbridge 150 to pivot slightly with respect toelongate member 146 such that the left andright ends bridge 150 can move slightly up and down with respect to each other. Left and right ends 154, 156 rest on the forward tips ofarms bridge 150 to accommodate slight misalignments ofrow unit arms point 108 equally between them without twistingelongate member 146. - Referring to
FIGS. 4, 5 , 6, and 7, andadjustable point rest 148 is mounted on the forward end ofelongate member 146 and is configured to support the forward end ofpoint 108 and to adjust the height of thepoint 108 which rests onpoint support surface 178 ofadjustable point rest 148. The rear end ofpoint 108 is pivotally coupled on its left and right sides to cover 110 byhinge 157.Hinge 157 permits the front ofcover 108 to be pivoted upward and downward about an axis extending horizontally and laterally throughhinge 157. -
Adjustable point rest 148 includes afirst bracket 158 that is configured to make fine height adjustments ofpoint 108.Bracket 158 is pivotally coupled to the forward end ofelongate member 146 bybolt 162. Referring toFIGS. 4 and 5 , a fine adjuster (here shown as bolt 164) is engaged tofirst bracket 158 to pivotfirst bracket 158 with respect to elongatemember 146 aboutbolt 162. When the operator rotatesfine adjuster 164,free end 168 offine adjuster 164 abutselongate member 146 and causesfine bracket 158 to rotate aboutbolt 162. This changes the height of the forward end 170 (FIG. 5 ). A quick coupler 172 (here shown as a spring-loaded pin) is supported in forward in 170 of thefirst bracket 158, and is configured to selectively engage a plurality ofholes 174 insecond bracket 160. Wheneverbolt 164 is rotated, it changes the height ofquick coupler 172 in the fine increments of height.Second bracket 160 is pivotally coupled to the forward end ofelongate member 146 bybolt 162 about whichsecond bracket 160 pivots. The operator changes the position ofsecond bracket 160 by pullingquick coupler 172 to the left (inFIG. 6 ) against the force exerted bycoil spring 176. Oncequick coupler 172 has been withdrawn,second bracket 160 is disengaged fromfirst bracket 158. Once disengaged,second bracket 160 can be pivoted up or down aboutbolt 162 to any of a plurality of positions. - Once
second bracket 160 has been moved into the proper position, the operator can releasequick coupler 172, and the force exerted bycoil spring 176 will pullquick coupler 172 into anadjacent hole 174 insecond bracket 160 thus raising or lowering point support surface 178 asecond bracket 160. Sincesecond bracket 160 has fourholes 174,quick coupler 172 can holdsecond bracket 160 in four different positions. Two of these positions are shown inFIG. 4 , in which one position is rendered in phantom lines, and one position is rendered in solid lines. Alternative embodiments ofsecond bracket 160 may include more or fewer holes and more or fewer positions than are illustrated here. - To adjust
point support 144, the operator goes to each point/cover pair oncorn head 104 in turn. The operator raises eachpoint 108, disengagesquick coupler 172, and placessecond bracket 160 in the same position on each of the point supports 144 (i.e. thequick coupler 172 on eachcover 110 engages thesame hole 174 on all the second brackets 160) Even though each of thefirst brackets 158 are adjusted to engage thesame hole 174 on each correspondingsecond bracket 160, the tips of thepoints 108 may nonetheless be at different heights above the ground due to manufacturing tolerances, misalignments and misadjustments of various components. For this reason, the operator can eliminate these smaller differences in height between thepoints 108 by going to eachpoint support 144 and adjustingfine adjuster 164 until the tips of eachpoint 108 are the same height above the ground. In previous arrangements, adjusting the height of the points might take an hour or two. For this reason, operators seldom adjusted the height of their points with respect to the header, and instead raised and lowered the header to increase or decrease the height of the points above the ground. - Once the operator has made his initial fine adjustments he can later change the height of all of the points very quickly in the field. The process of later raising or lowering the height of all the points typically takes two or three minutes. The operator lifts up the
point 108 frompoint support surface 178 ofsecond bracket 160, disengagesquick coupler 172 with one hand, rotatessecond bracket 160 into a new position with his other hand, releasesquick coupler 172 to reengage and retainsecond bracket 160 in its new position, and lowerspoint 108 until it again rests onpoint support surface 178 ofsecond bracket 160 in a new position. - Having described the preferred embodiment, it will become apparent that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the accompanying claims.
